Law/Patents - Law (general) / Cyprus police
Greek term or phrase: ΑΡ. Μ.Ε., ΚΥΑΝΟΥΝ
Context: Cyprus police report of an accident.
A drawing shows the scene of the accident, and in one corner of the drawing there's a box containing the following:
ΕΠΑΡΧΙA: ΠΑΦΟΣ
ΣΤΑΘΜΟΣ: ΣΤΡΟΥΜΠΙ
ΑΡ.Μ.Ε.:
ΚΥΑΝΟΥΝ:

ΣΤΑΘΜΟΣ in this case means ΑΣΤΥΝΟΜΙΚΟ ΤΜΗΜΑ.

Μ.Ε. appears in a couple of other place in the documents, followed by a number and the year. Perhaps it means ΜΗΤΡΩΟ ΕΓΓΡΑΦΗΣ or something like that.
As for ΚΥΑΝΟΥΝ...
This may be something quite obscure, but it's routine for the Cypriot police, so if anyone knows any sources of information...
Thanks.

Thank you very much for phoning the police station. Yes, I can see that KYANOYN is part of their "in-house" terminology. (We have a "blue book" here in our office, for recording all the jobs that come in - called "blue" simply because it is blue). As for the spellings, I have used "Pafos" a few times in the past, but generally prefer "Paphos". I'm aware of these spellings and have recently read some comments about them in the Rough Guide to Cyprus. I'd be interested to see the Ministry's list of names some time.

I am not 100% sure (we will have to wait for our friend tyrem who is locally in Cyprus to confirm) but it might refer to the UN forces from the point of view that this might be a \"Case reference\" from them .. or to indicate whether this would be forwarded also to them....

Yes UN .. the UN peacekeeping forces have the light blue as their patch and as their reference (the blue forces). that is why initially I referred you to those pages containing the UN patches and the title of the essay about the \"shade of blue\" :)
